Hi All

Current nexus 4 owner considering upgrading to a Note 2 !!!!

Have a couple of quick questions wondering if anyone can help.

1, Can you use headsets designed for iPhone with it, the nexus 4 is fine, as in the mic and play button work (volume still doesnt but ive learnt to live with that)

2. How is the CM port on it. Problem I have with Samsung products is that I despise touchwiz. I love, vanilla stock android.

Which brings me onto 3.

3. If Cm isn't great, would it at least be possible to install the "People" "Phone" and "Messaging Apps" and I think I could live with that

Many thanks for your help :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] aviralsingh16:
1. Don't know abour iPhone but sometimes I use my sis S ii earphones it works fine.

2. cm and rooting is easy to port on it but you will loose S pen effets rooting makes S pen useless. And if younlike atock you can use apex launcher yiu can get the paid version in free from blackmart.

3. Yup in note ii you have motions if you're messaging someone then u can uust put the phone on your eyer and call him n9 need to go to dialer to dial
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] mexiking713:
1. I have the Beats Mixrs, plat/pause and mic work with my note 2 so you should be fine.

2. CM, I belive, is mostly stable and getting better and better thanks to the dedicated devs.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Skripka:
Cyanogenmod and AOSP ROMs are by and large in a strong beta state right now on N2. And make nice daily driver roms now imho. SPEN still works on them, but many of the native features are not functional.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] mexiking713:
Also wanted to note that when I double pressed play/pause button it would skip song.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
Rooting has no effect on spen. The pen even works on aosp roms as an input device, just doesn't have all of the proprietary features like screenshots, etc. :rolleyes:

I like to break stuff! :D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Skripka:
OTOH even a "light" TWiz ROM is 900MB-1GB...whereas an AOSP ROM is ~150MB
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
1 the note 2 comes with its own headset with in line controls that works just fine, even has multiple size and shaped pairs of earbuds to ensure a good fit.

2. There are plenty of stable AOSP/CM source built roms including cm10/10.1, paranoid android, vanilla rootbox, linaro carbonrom, aokp, etc. You will lose some of the features of the note such as motions and the button functions of the spen.

3. There are AOSP themed twiz roms that retain all of the stock features but look more like AOSP, including either themed dialer, mms , contacts, or having them replaced with their aosp counterparts.

I like to break stuff! :D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] budde2:
The note2 is a definite update from the N4 imo ibwould jump ship this is the best phone
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] thepktrckt:
I can only speak to #1

You cannot use EarPods with the Note 2 for phone calls, the other end gets a high pitch sound. I tested this on two Note 2s and a Galaxy S3. You can use the Apple Ear Buds for phone calls without issue, it's only an issue for the new EarPods. This was/has been a huge bummer for me because I cannot stand in-ear, I feel like I'm underwater when I talk and they are not comfortable. I have yet to find a competitive solution to the passive sound and comfort that EarPods offers.

Also the AT&T Note 2 does not ship with any earphones, the Galaxy S3 does.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] rangie:
CM is going to suck. S-pen, MHL, GPS and a dozen other things will be either nonfunctional or flaky as hell.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] DarkManX4lf:
Spen works. Gps is flaky for now but there is a fix being worked on and just had to be released into the nightlies. Mhl does not work. Everything else works on cm10.1.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Skripka:
Huh?

GPS? Works fine here on PACMan ROM 3

SPen? Works, apart from the SPen service and Sammy's SPen Note (use Papyrus)

MHL? I've never used it...but I suspect it works in some capacity...as you haven't demonstrated yet a working knowledge of what does and does not work on Cyanogenmod on the Note 2 presently.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] chuko303:
Idk why is this even a question. Hardly a challenge indeed. Note2 is amazing.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] rangie:
I'm not bashing CM or the developers. Glad they got the spen working.

MHL is a dealbreaker.

Things like the GPS working on some roms, some nightlys, for some users, some of the time is what keeps me away. It's a difficult process and I'm sure it will all work eventually. In the meantime I'd rather put up with the uglier touchwiz interface and have full use of this awesome hardware.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] xeper:
I'd be very interested to see how little TouchWiz remains in some of these. I'd like to keep the S-Pen stuff, but man TouchWiz is just plain ugly.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] budde2:
Pure stock is how I go this phone is so amazing on its own no need to change anything
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ac16313:
Well at least it doesn't look like sense.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] xeper:
I prefer Sense 4.x and 5.x to TouchWiz any day of the week.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] thepktrckt:
*update*

I have flashed my Note 2 with Scott's latest AT&T CleanRom and now the loud whining sound is gone. Yay!

Will update if this changes.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Atrixn00b:
Hey guys. I'm just wondering what's the difference between quad core and dual core s3? Like would there be a speed difference considering dual core has 4g and 2 gigs as ram where the intern s3 has quad core and 1 gig of ram? I have a chance to get the international and I would enjoy the dual booting feature you can do with quad cores. Just wondering what your guys input would be
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Dave the Knave:
I would imagine two more cores means less battery life. Also, if you go with the international, you lose LTE. But that's only an issue if you have LTE in your area.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] The Internet:
International version has better GPU and better DAC. If LTE is of little concern to you, I'd hop on it, especially if you're always in a location where wi-fi is available.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Atrixn00b:
Yeah I like very in fem not and its around here. But I only find a difference when I download torrents on my phone Lol. Its actually faster then my WiFi. But is it 3g or hspa+?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Dave the Knave:
Its HSPA.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Atrixn00b:
Ahh. That's not that much of a difference to me. Would I have to get it unlocked?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Dave the Knave:
You'd have to check on that yourself. I don't believe you do.

Sent from my Galaxy S3
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] xBeerdroiDx:
the i9300 will operate on at&t's gsm and hspa networks without having to be unlocked. although there are 2 additional cores, it lacks lte, an additional 1gb of memory (which i believe is more useful and more regularly used) and (personal preference) i think the best roms are on i747. either way, enjoy!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Atrixn00b:
Okay thanks (:

How to make a rom lite ?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dreawf:
Hi Guys

I just change my kernel from siyah to dorimanx kernel, and then I installed cyanogenmod 10.1 in the 2nd rom.

I made a mistake to install gapps for cm 10.1 in my stock rom (1st rom). After that whenever I want to boot to my 1st rom it just stucks.

I've tried to wipe cache and dalvik cache in my 1st rom but it still stucks at the Dorimanx start up.

My Phone is Samsung Galaxy SII GT-I9100

Kernel : Dorimanx v7.47

2nd Rom : cm-10.1-20130221-NIGHTLY-i9100

Please help me solve this problem. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyz1988:
Flash your first rom again.

Rule number 1:

If you dont know what to do, wipe everything and start from scratch.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dreawf:
Thanks for your reply.

I've flashed my kernel and it still didn't solve the problem.

maybe later I will wipe everything but right now I still want to try to solve this without formatting my 1st rom.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] big_bum:
Wipe everything, especially /system and then reflash your ROM and your favorite kernel.

Thanks for your answer
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dreawf:
yeah but it still doesn't support dual boot.. So I will stick with dorimanx till it can support dual boot..
[Asus Transformer TF700] prasse:
help im in trouble, i went from parandroid rom to do a nandroid recovery to clean rom and now my dear tf700 wont boot up i get the asus loading screen and thats it, i cant go into recovery either....what i can do is get into an option screen that i havent seen before where i can wipe ( dosen´t help) or connect with usb, but that dosent do anything... please help im getting desperate here :S
[Asus Transformer TF700] Thats OK:
How long did you let it sit on the Asus screen?

Which recovery and version?

I've seen my tablet take 45 minutes to boot on older versions of TWRP after a ROM flash.

This hasn't happened for quite a while however.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
This is really important - which version of the bootloader are you on and which version of which recovery do you have installed?
[Asus Transformer TF700] prasse:
Ye gave it a couple of hours The first time, and The custom recovery is twrp of goomannager so gotta be one of The newer version, can't rememeber The excat version however :s
[Asus Transformer TF700] MartyHulskemper:
Do yo usee ANY number flying about giving any indication as to what bootloader you're on? sbdags made an important point -- you'll need a current bootloader version to get the more recent ROMs working.

Oh, and ehh... please use interpunction -- you know, periods and commas and stuff. It makes a sentence that much more readable and understandable. :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] prasse:
okay :) im on twrp 2.4.0.1.... but i can´t enter the recovery mode :crying:
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
When you reboot with power and volume down it tells you the bootloader version in the top left. What is it?
[Asus Transformer TF700] prasse:
thats just the thing, i don´t get the normal bootloader, instead i get a messeage saying " os will cold boot in 10 secs" and option to either wipe data or start fastboot usb download protocol"

but the last option doesen´t really do anything.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Sounds like you are on the ICS bootloader which means you have probably bricked your tablet unfortunately.
[Asus Transformer TF700] prasse:
the jellybean 4.1 was official if i remember correctly, however the "upgrade" to 4.2 was through the parandroid rom. But how would i have updatede my bootloader then?
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
The old ICS bootloader used to give some text first when booting with volume down and then you hit volume up to get some options.

The new JB bootloader gives 4 icons when booting with volume down held. It also tells you the bootloader version

From what you described it sounds like the old ICS bootloader. But of course I could be completely wrong as I can't see your screen.

Without you giving versions it is impossible to say what you have done but if you have done a reset from the bootloader (you said you have) and you are on the wrong recovery then you have likely bricked your device. Usually it was done with JB bootloader and an older version of TWRP. As you have said you were on 2.4.1.0(??) I'm not sure as you haven't detailed your bootloader.

Do you still have fastboot available? I.e., when you select it does it say starting fastboot?
[Asus Transformer TF700] Thats OK:
How do you know you're on TWRP if you can't get into recovery?
[Asus Transformer TF700] prasse:
okay thank you for the explanation, but no i dont have fastboot avaliable.... got the same screen as before.
[Asus Transformer TF700] prasse:
ngionla appearance

well i got those previously two mentioned options.....if i take the wipe option, it automatiaclly enters the custom recovery and starts wiping, however im not in control, and can´t do anything while it wipes.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Thats OK:
Is there any way you could in some way put up a picture of the screen on the tablet?

When you mention "wiping" is that a system wipe or do you know if it is the eMMC (sd0) wipe?

Wish there was a way to see your tabs boot\recovery screen.

Is it anything like the above image?
[Asus Transformer TF700] prasse:
Ye almost the excat same, i Can upload a picture when i get home... But no i dont know the difference between, your mentioned wipes sorry :s..
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
If it looks like that what happens when you push volume up on the RCK icon?
[Asus Transformer TF700] prasse:
see thats the difference, i only got the two last icons wipe and usb : /
[Asus Transformer TF700] MartyHulskemper:
That sounds like you do not have any recovery available. If you connect the tablet to the computer via SUB and pick the USB option, what happens?
[Asus Transformer TF700] pvka13:
Isn't the fastboot built into the bootloader? It should be always possible to recover if you can get to the recovery select screen and select fastboot, shouldn't it?
[Asus Transformer TF700] prasse:
unfortualy nothing happens, my computer dosen´t find the device and the tf700 just gets stuck on that option.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
What happens if you search find the Asus infinity root drivers, go to device manager and updated the drivers to infinity root ones for any question marked there? Whilst in fast boot mode of course.
[Asus Transformer TF700] prasse:
it looks like this.

I got the drivers for the device, through the asus mannager, i assume those were the ones you meant right? however it dosen´t find the device, tried on a couple of computers
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
No Asus drivers are not the ones. You need infinity root drivers. Search for them on xda.
[Asus Transformer TF700] MartyHulskemper:
Sorry to stick my actually-not-so-big nose in, but do you mean the Universal Naked from here:

[Asus Transformer TF700] prasse:

[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
No I used some called infinity root drivers. They work perfectly with my windows 7
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] poor_red_neck:
You can always flash one.... If you're looking for an official release I would certainly say yes. How long remains unknown. The GSIII and Note2 are Samsung's flagship phones... and 2 of the best phones on the market. It will come, just a matter of how long.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] aviralsingh16:
Thanks for the advice acrually I don't wanna flash it will make my S pen useless. So , why did nexus devices got android 4.2.2 early ?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] poor_red_neck:
Because the Nexus IS "the google phone" It's Google's very own. It's made by various companies depending on which one (previous "google" phones), but it's "vanilla" meaning it has no UI on top of it. Example: HTC phones have "Sense". Samsung has "Touch Wiz" It takes time for Samsung to implement their stuff on top of the new OS.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] aviralsingh16:
Ok ok thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Epix4G:
The nexus will have 4.3 or 4.4 by the time Samsung gets around to getting a 4.2.2 rom out for the note 2 ... just the way it is .... Nexus is always ahead

[Motorola Droid RAZR] welder73:
I have a Razr XT910,it´s rooted,with custom rom etc...

I plan to sell it and buy Razr Maxx,found one new for 350€

Now,that Maxx will probably come with GB 2.3.6 and I want another one's opinion:

Should I stay with GB or upgrade to ICS and after that to try custom roms?

I bought my current XT910 also with GB and use it like that around 15 days,then I went to Germany to work and there I upgrade it over the OTA to ICS.

As far as I remember,GB was ok,without lags,good battery time...

If I upgrade it,what do I get and what I lose :confused:

Here I saw a lot of people who are quite knowledgeable about these things,I hope that somebody will help me to decide :)

Thank´s in advance :good:

By the way,I´m from Serbia and I don´t know when the official JB will come here,maybe half of the year,maybe never :rolleyes:

Better stick with GB

Better battery, less lags

Gingerbread is horrible on Razr Maxx. So is ICS for that matter.

Would it be possible to make a mod to remove software (CPU) rendering and enable full GPU rendering? As seen in Android Revolution Roms ?

Also a mod to enable GPU UI Rendering? This would make the vivid speedy quick
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Sultanxda:
1. Open a terminal emulator app

2. Type in

Now reboot. Congrats, your phone is now using full GPU rendering.

Should it read adreno220 since that is the GPU vs adreno200. And is this the same as checking force GPU for 2d under development?
